White’s experience while making Shameless

White discussed his experience while making the series and revealed that even though the show ran for a really long time, he still loved everything he learned in it. “There was a period where I stopped feeling like an actor and I started feeling like I was just here to do this show,” he said in an interview with Variety.

Now that some time has passed and he’s moved on in new directions in his career, his feelings with the show are much more positive. “I love Shameless so much,” he said. “I love everybody that was a part of it, and the experience was incredible.”
